Description

This presentation begins with an overview of the activities of KIF (Kvinder i Fysik / Women in Physics Denmark), an organization dedicated to supporting gender equality in the field. To mark the 150th anniversary of women’s admission to Danish universities, I will highlight the historical roles of women in physics in Denmark with pioneers such as Julie Marie Vinther Hansen and Inge Lehmann to name a few. I will also present the current status of women in the field, drawing on recent data from Danish universities. These developments are contextualized within the broader framework of recent Danish research on gender dynamics and the position of women in academia.
